Washed the car last night and brought my trusty camera out to see if I could get better pics than with my Carl Zeiss Lumia 920, but it ended up getting too dark by the time i was done.

 

Bet it is covered in dust now. I am the same way, I always try to get a nice set of pics after I wash my car because I know it won't stay clean for long, especially since I don't have a garage.

 

Mine is garaged, but it still collects dust in there, so we'll see. I haven't looked at it yet today. Might go to the track tonight for test and tune wednesdays.

 

Im in Victoria...Here's a beach pic...

Nice. You should recognize this view then....

 

Awesomeness!

 

I cleaned the car last night with intention of taking pics but it got too dark. So I went out today and failed miserably. My locations sucked and the camera I wanted to use died after one picture. I guess it doesnt like NiMH batteries or the charger failed me (would be the first time). So I ended up using my Lumia 920 for pics. Welp...there are the only decent shots I got:

Backlight fail ... was too embarrassed to turn the car around and face it the other way


Here is the camera I wanted to use...only got one shot in before I could adjust the settings.


The only one that turned out halfway decent....dat antenna tho

 

Hey its a beautiful car regardless, altho for a sec i wondered what the heck you have on the top of your antenna lol. just weird with that light pole in the background so close to it.

Like i said gorgeous car, even if you don't like the pics, it shines through

 

What Darren said. Beautiful car. That red is .

 

lol thanks guys! Somebody photoshop out the antenna and pole for me!

I haven't taken car pics in a while, so I need to remember to be more aware of what's in the background like light poles and stuff. So hard to find a good location

 

I just ordered the stubby antenna. It's out of stock but I'll be replacing that stocker when it finally comes in.

 

Argh, makes me regret not getting race red...

 

David

Have you gotten these yet? Best $90 I ever spent for my Mustang.

 

I agree, those and the stubby antenna are a must!

 

Yep. Hood struts went on when I did the oil catch can.

 

Been lazy to upload.... lots of pics from a few shows this past week.

Enjoy

 

^ nice shots Alex.

2 things stick out.

That Aston Martin in gray... how did he get away with that license plate. And that's pretty confident. I doubt it ever contributed to his success though. LOL.

That white 5.0 with the scissor doors. Holy Rice Batman. First, you're stock, then have a prop rod for your hood, yet you have scissor doors?

 

Here's a tip for people with hood struts.


I have a heavy Cervini hood. The MMD hood struts work great as long as I'm not parked front down on a hill, or if the wind ain't blowin' too hard. I've had the struts fail in adverse conditions, so I came up with the following solution.


Simply get yourself a short length of 5/16 fuel line, and cut it to the length of the small strut rod (when the hood is up of course), and slit it length-wise with a razor knife. Then, when you go to a show or car meet, just wrap the fuel line around the strut rod, and it will provide enough support to keep the hood up. Side-benefit - it's black, so nobody will notice it at a car show or meet.

 

jesus christ...that's a lot of pictures.

 

Hahah i think the Aston has a fake plate, it was a cali plate, but was not metal, i think it was more of a vanity thing. Oh and that Mustang was awful, you should have seen the inside, so filthy, cigarette butts, starbucks cups etc. Saw a few other cars like that, older camaros etc... i dont get it LOL

 

Seriously. As a former smoker myself, I never lit up in a car, not even in the point-a-to-point-b jalopies I had. But in a "nice" car you take to a show... well, it's their rides.
